8 AM TUESDAYPutting the "D" back into DWDM Full-Band Multi-Wavelength Systems SALON EMani Ramachandran, CEO, Innotrans Communications / Capella TelecommunicationsSince the mid 1990’s Cable Operators have been deploying DWDM multi-wavelength networks to deliver 200 MHz ofnarrowcast content in a Broadcast / Narrowcast overlay topology. Today 200 MHz of narrowcast QAM content is no longerenough to keep pace with competition and is driving the requirement to replace the broadcast / narrowcast topology witha full-band transmitter solution. However, migrating the RF spectrum from 200 MHz to a full spectrum of 50 to 1000+ MHz of QAM modulated signals onDWDM transmitters has thus far required expensive externally modulated transmitter technology, or a reduction in thenumber of wavelengths from 40 to 8 or 16 due to Four Wave Mixing (FWM) and cross-talk limitations. In our presentation we will describe a cost effective “hybrid” transmitter technology which permits a full-band of QAM signalswith up to 40 wavelengths and 40 dB MER on a single fiber without degradation due to FWM and cross-talk.

Energy Efficient & Sustainable Cooling Strategies for Telecom SALON FMatthew Simpson, Americas Sales Manager, DanthermNetwork traffic is expected to nearly double over the next 3 years. During the same time, the average network speed willalso double – mobile will increase over 2.5 Mbps and wired connections up to 1 Gbps. Current networks cannot supportthis growth and communications equipment must evolve to meet this growth. Micro sites are increasing, macro sites arebecoming more intelligent, using hardened equipment on the tower, utilizing smaller enclosures. Mobile network (4G) willmove to 5G. Wired networks consist of fiber in Greenfield areas, but copper lines still exist for many of the networks. The demand for cooling is not going away. Thermal solutions are evolving to be smaller, more efficient and more reliable(MTBF). Providers need thermal management solutions that will reduce their energy, cooling and infrastructure costs. Itis extremely important to understand which energy efficient and sustainable cooling strategies are appropriate for thevarious telecom applications. Learn more about: • Infrastructure/Equipment changes affecting cooling requirements• The importance of proper sizing of cooling equipment• Cooling strategies to consider when faced with challenges such as reducing power consumption and increasing

profitability• How operators around the world are reducing their OPEX with smarter cooling strategies

Cleavers are used to create a controlled end face on an optical fiber and prepare it forconnection. Conventional optical fiber cleavers are precision instruments that include a mechanism to place a controlled stress on thefiber and a rigid blade. This blade creates a flaw on the fiber surface, initiating the glass fracture, or cleave. Precision iscritical to ensure the rigid blade “nicks” the fiber without “crashing” it, making the cleaver costly and requiring regularmaintenance. Researchers at 3M have demonstrated effectiveness of a flexible diamond impregnated wire in communication grade fibercleavers. Furthermore, a new simple apparatus can create the required controlled stress on the fiber, eliminating the needfor maintenance. This presentation presents the design of the apparatus and evaluates cleave performance compared toa conventional blade-style optical fiber cleaver.

9:30AM TUESDAY CONTINUEDCreate Scalable Solutions from In-House Quick Fixes SALON FBob Berry, CEO, DPS Telecom / Eastern Independent TelecomYour network and your problems are unique. Sometimes, you cannot solve a problem and achieve your goals using off-the-shelf parts. But how do you get custom, perfect-fit solutions if you don’t want to become a product manufacturer?There are many ways to create these products: Design them in-house, and then hire an outside contract manufacturer.Pay an NRE fee for someone to modify an existing product to fit your needs. Hack a custom solution by stacking severalcomponents together. Or work with a company that specializes in building custom products. And, as always, the scale ofthe solution is a big part of the decision process.Regardless of the route chosen, problems can be kept to a minimum with a little advanced planning. The goal shouldalways be about maximizing the value of the solution while simultaneously minimizing the risk. Not all risk can be removed,but it can be lowered substantially.Steps we will be talking about Brainstorming and Involving Stakeholders, Documentation, Field Trials and FunctionalityTesting, Verifying Quality Standards and Support and Installation Plan.This session will talk about perfect-fit solutions: Maximizing the value generated, while minimizing the risk.

Industry Certification & Credentialing SALON GJohn Bakowski, RCDD/NTS/OSP/WD, Past President, BICSIComplex solutions to todays Network Design Systems require more than a general product knowledge.

10AM TUESDAYTelephony Premise Wiring Trouble Shooting SALON FEd Rousselot, National Telecom Sales Engineer, MeggerIn the “Old Days”, cable television provided television and telcos provided voice telecommunication. The lines are nowconsiderably blurred with both providing television, internet service and voice. Both experienced problems in providingservices that had been provided by the other. Cable companies touted their digital VoIP telephone service. This twisted-pair inside-wire is very often the cause of the noise and other problems that made the customer dissatisfied with the telcoin the first place. Cable techs were not trained or equipped to troubleshoot this twisted-pair inside-wire. The presentation covers the basicsof a telephone circuit: • Characteristics and Elements of a telephone circuit • Voltage and source• Current • Conductors • Load • Each of these is defined and the specifications for each are covered and a discussion on how a telephone circuit works.• The two ways that twisted-pair inside wiring is installed (home run and continuous loop)• Problems with twisted-pair inside-wire with an emphasis on metallic faults versus high resistance faults, specific types

(shorts, grounds, opens) and how they relate to balance and induction-related noise are defined. • What causes each, symptoms, with special attention is given to induction, its effects on unbalanced pairs.• Trouble shooting these problems with a volt-ohm meter.

Surviving the In-House Solution Stack Hack SALON FBob Berry, CEO, DPS Telecom / Eastern Independent TelecomIn today's environment, we are always in need of a solution to some new problem. When off-the-shelf solutions won't solveit, we “roll our own”.It starts with a bright idea. Then you build a solution from off-the-shelf components and some home-brew stuff. A scripthere, a custom cable there, a custom mount, and – voila! – a bona fide solution stack. It works great!But problems are lurking in our “in-house solution stack hack”. The problems are associated with scale, support, and thepassage of time.More locations want your solution, but you can't scale delivery because you don't have design control. Some componentsare discontinued. Others are replaced by new versions. Nothing is compatible anymore. Notes from the original releaseare sketchy. No support is available.Whether you're the technician that built it or the manager that authorized it, no one is happy.Your network and customers are too important for an uncontrolled solution stack. You can mitigate the problems by preparingin advance: • Secure inventory. • Write documentation and FAQ.• Establish a release process.This session will talk about bringing these processes into your company to manage the roll-out of an in-house solutionstack hack.

11AM TUESDAY / TRADE SHOW OPENSCost Comparison Analysis of Distribution and Drop Cable Installation SALON Ein FTTH Deployments

Roger Vaughn, Product Technology Manager, AFLThere are three segments of cable in FTTH deployment; backbone, distribution and drop cable. Backbone cabling connectsfrom the central office (CO) to a distribution center. From the distribution center, distribution cables are routed passedhomes and businesses. Installed along this distribution cable are access points to connect drop cables to the subscriber.Taking a closer look at two segments of deployment, distribution and drop cables, we can compare common installationmethods and costs. The three types of distribution cable installation used for comparison are the traditional cable andclosure, long tail terminal and engineered cable with terminals. For distribution cable installation, contractors are typicallyused. These contractors charge by time, project, or piece part and sometimes a combination of the three. Placing access points along the distribution cable is another cost consideration, which can have a significant impact ontotal costs now and in the future. The type of access point, when, and where installed is contingent upon manyconsiderations. Each installation method has its benefits and associated costs depending on the opportunity presented.

Scott Pettygrove, Product Line Manager, Access Business Unit, JDSUThe number of Wi-Fi connected devices within the residence is exploding - computers, tablets, phones, televisions, smartappliances and on and on. Additionally, the latest 802.11 technology provides great improvement over previous versions.This growth in the number of devices, larger pipes to the home and more capable technology has in turn contributed anincrease in customers quality-of-experience (QoE) expectations. Customers want to consume premium content on thedevice they want, where they want, when they want it, and have a high quality, trouble-free experience while doing so.Some service providers are or are considering cutting the cord completely and distributing broadcast video and video-on-demand to set-top boxes using Wi-Fi only. Taken as a whole, this new climate has created significant challenges foroperators including: a large increase in the number of Wi-Fi related help desk calls, difficulty in segmenting, identifyingand resolving performance issues and the risk of customer churn due to poor QoE. This session will cover a Short Technology Overview; Common WiFi challenges and sources of degradation and Bestpractices for installation and troubleshooting.
